Its finally here! The Big Data Beard team has started its epic Road Trip 2 .conf (https://bigdatabeard.com/road-trip-to-conf-2019/) today.  I can think of no better way to kick off our Road Trip series of podcasts than with Splunk's very own Jeff Champagne (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffchampagne).  In the first episode of season 5, Brett (https://twitter.com/bigdatabrett)and Kyle (https://twitter.com/KylePrins)sit down with Jeff and get his thoughts on how customers are deploying Splunk at scale, deployment trends and the evolution of SplunkNext (https://www.splunk.com/en_us/software/splunk-next.html).
